Here's one from the twilight zone. I had the generator for my AC-WD rebuilt, the shop rewired it for 12V, positive ground. On their test bench it puts out 14V. using their meter or mine. When I bring it home and mount it on the tractor I get nothing. Even disconnected from the tractor (it uses a one wire connection to the BAT terminal) measuring from the BAT terminal to ground on the generator itself, no output. I double checked and the battery is wired correctly - positive ground, and I proved that the generator is grounded to the frame. The tractor starts and runs fine, it just runs the battery down slowly.
How can it work on the test bench but not on the tractor, even disconnected from the tractor? Will a generator still work if its revolving in the wrong direction?
The rebuilder isn't interested in what happens after it leaves the shop in proper working order. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
